PlayerControl++
by Alonediamond
PlayerControl++ is a Fabric client mod that records keypresses, plays them back and runs repetitive input routines for players who want to automate long tasks.
What it does
Players bind keys in the Hotkeys tab of the config screen, which is reached with P and then C or through Mod Menu. Nothing is bound by default. Once a routine is recorded or built, playback reproduces the same key input, so tasks such as holding a key down for a minute, clicking through a row of chests or right-clicking a water bucket many times can run without manual effort. A routine stops at once when the player presses a key, pauses on demand, or ends when the world changes or the player dies.
The mod works by simulating the player's own key presses. Because it only simulates the player's own key presses, the routine never changes the character's coordinates and never emits invalid network packets, so it runs identically in a single-player save, a LAN session or a multiplayer server. Playback can show small positional drift compared with the recording, which is normal for input replay. Installation needs Fabric Loader, Fabric API and MaLiLib in the mods folder, and the mod is client-side only, so servers do not need it. It is open source under the MIT License and is published for 1.21 – 26.2 across twelve release versions.
Key features
Input recording and playback
Key input is recorded and replayed with its coordinates, so repeated actions can run without the player holding the keys.
Hotkey-driven routines
Routines are started and stopped through bound hotkeys, and a routine stops immediately when the player presses a key.
Container caching assistance
Routines can open one chest after another and handle container contents, which suits sorting and restocking jobs.
Familiar interface
The settings follow the layout used by Litematica and Tweakeroo, so the screens need little learning.
Optional feature screens
Options that depend on other mods, such as Chest Tracker or QuickShulker, appear only when those mods are present.

How it compares
YouArch is client-side only and released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, with files for 1.21.11 – 26.3. Command Hotkeys is also client-side only, open source under the CC0 1.0 Universal license, and published for 1.21.5 – 26.2, so it binds commands to keys rather than replaying input. Litematica Auto Ignite is client-side only under the MIT License, covering 1.21.11 – 26.1.2.
